Are you hoping to hit the road (or air) this fall? You're far from alone. With the prices lower than summer, the weather still temperate and the foliage in full bloom, many choose fall as the season to get away.
Below are a handful of fall travel tips from MultiVu.

Stay Within Budget: Fall is a great time to travel. There are a lot of deals in places like New York City, San Francisco, and D.C., but to find these deals, comparison shopping is key. On sites like Booking.com, you can check out affordable hotels, villas, apartments, or even boats or tree houses to stay in. They also have a customer service team to help travelers out 24 hours a day. Whether searching for an accommodation through the website or app, check out the guest-verified reviews.

Get Your Ride Ready: With stable gas prices, road trips are really popular with families this time of year. Before you hit the road, make sure your vehicle is road-ready and those tires are in good shape. Two big things: check your tire pressure and your tire tread—you can do that with a penny. Remember all tires are not created equal.

What to Pack: Fall is an active season for families. For starters, make sure you pack the right clothing. Also remember, hurricane season is not over—any bad weather can put travel plans in jeopardy. That's why more travelers are now looking to protect their travel investment, according to Allianz Travel Insurance. Travel insurance can reimburse your prepaid non-refundable expenses if you have to cancel a trip due to a natural disaster or for extended travel delays. It will also protect you against baggage issues and medical emergencies. If you do ever have to file a claim, you can do it straight from the TravelSmart app.
